\name{\cAdoptee{}}

You are \cAdoptee{}, the heir to the ancient family \familyC{}. Your family has become weak in the past century or two, but your father, \cPatriarchC{\full}, is determined that you won't just be a footnote in the history of Europa. He plays the \familyA{} and \familyB{} families against each other at every opportunity. It really drives you crazy how obsessed he is with the whole thing. Just today, Castle Heterodyne was damaged by some idiot in a flying machine. Both \familyA{} and \familyB{} decided to spring on the opportunity to loot the place, so your father decided to go, and then the geezer decided to drag you along with him. Something about getting more experience scheming and plotting. Whatever.

Your father is behind the times. He's stuck in an archaic world where small spark families battle it out for control of Europa, while everyone else gets trampled underfoot. The world is changing, and along with the \bPopulists{}, you're going to make sure that change is for the better. The \bPopulists{} are a group united by a desire to improve life for the masses, even if you don't always agree about the best way to do it. As for you, you're sure the right answer is to turn everyone into a spark. If everyone's a spark, there will be nobody left for sparks to oppress. Removing the spark from everyone who has it would also even the playing field, but the devices sparks make are too valuable for that to be an option.

Two other members of the \bPopulists{} are here at the Castle with you. You expected \cPopulist{} to be here, since \cPopulist{\they}'s a \familyB{}. However, you were surprised to find out that \cBondAlias{\full} also showed up. You don't know \cBondAlias{} very well, and you're not sure what \cBondAlias{\they}'s doing here. But while the three of you are here, you ought to take the opportunity to work on your various projects. Who knows what kind of gadgets or knowledge you might find in the Castle which would help you make your sparkification device?

Of course, it's important to make sure that Europa doesn't fall apart before you can turn everyone into a spark. Baron Wulfenbach doesn't show much concern for the working class, but the Pax Transylvania he enforces is necessary for them to have any chance of a better life. So, you decided to throw your support behind the Baron's cause. Secretly, of course; your father would have serious objections. He's frustrated enough with your rebelliousness as it is. But it's the right thing to do. You know Castle Heterodyne has defenses which pose a serious threat to the Baron's forces; it would be good to make sure nobody tries to activate them and use them against the Baron.

And you have to do all this while helping your father exploit the conflict between the other two spark families. But honestly, as much as you would \emph{never} admit it to your father, you do kind of enjoy manipulating people.

\TODO{What reveals that adoptee is really part of family 2?}

\begin{itemz}[Goals]
  \item Turn everyone in Europa into sparks.
  \item Prevent anyone from using the Castle's defenses against the Baron's forces.
  \item Help your father play the other two spark families against each other by selling weapons to whichever is weakest at the moment.
  \item \ldots{} but make sure your father knows you're not going to do whatever he tells you to do just because he tells you to do it.
